Watching Zhang Zifeng shoot a ball, Butler still sarcastically said. "Why don't you dare challenge me? Oh, I see. You are afraid that under Lao Tzu's defense, you will show your original form! ”

Zhang Zifeng said disdainfully: "Boy, your trash talk is terrible!" Don't come and talk trash to me, you're no match for me! ”

After saying that, Zhang Zifeng ignored Butler at all and ran back to the half court to participate in the defense.

When Butler just wanted to fight back, he saw the other party running away, and he immediately jumped to his feet in anger.

Butler shouted in the backcourt, "I'll guard you, you see!" ”

The Bulls quickly fought back.

Hinrich, the '03 draft, was mediocre in all aspects, but he was a very solid veteran who drove the ball steadily into the frontcourt.

Butler ran to the frontcourt, leaned on Zhang Zifeng, and raised his arm high to signal Hinrich to pass.

Hinrich didn't hesitate to pass the ball with a lob.

Butler caught the pass and turned to face Zhang Zifeng.

Butler quickly dribbled the ball over, made a quick stop, swayed, and changed direction in front of his body.

But Zhang Zifeng didn't eat the other party's feints, and still stood in front of Butler.

"Don't waste your strength, you can't break through me!" Zhang Zifeng said disdainfully.

Butler was quite angry when he heard Zhang Zifeng's contempt.

Butler turned around and hit Zhang Zifeng on his back, "Chinese, I want you to regret saying this!" ”

Butler said viciously, and then a huge impact crashed into Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng was knocked to the ground and retreated step by step.

As soon as he advanced to the penalty area, Butler quickly turned around, and then made a false shot, deceived the defending Noll, turned back to his body, and scored the ball according to Zhang Zifeng.

After landing on the ground, Butler arrogantly shouted at Zhang Zifeng, "See, your defense is as soft as a!" ”

Zhang Zifeng looked at Butler's arrogant appearance and said very unhappily: "Okay, boy, you have me off." You'll regret it! ”

"yes, I'll wait. But I'm afraid you'll cry and go home to your mom tonight! ”

In the front court, Zhang Zifeng took the ball and dribbled under his crotch continuously.

Looking at Zhang Zifeng as if he was going to stick to singles again, Brett. Brown was torn in his heart.

Could it be that this Jack has a solid relapse, and he has to be obsessed with singles and disregard the interests of the team.

Could it be that the apologies and reflections that this guy told me two days ago are all fake, and this guy will still be the team's poison bag.

In Brown's concern, Zhang Zifeng glanced to the left, and then suddenly made a false shake, pulling the ball from his right hand to his left hand, while leaning his body sharply to the left.

As soon as the ball reached his left hand, in an instant, Zhang Zifeng pulled the ball back to his right hand and accelerated. From the top of the arc, dribble the ball diagonally and quickly to the right 45 degrees.

Butler moved very fast, and when Zhang Zifeng accelerated, he reacted and followed sideways.

"Boy, your trick is useless to Lao Tzu. I'm going to eat you! When Butler followed, he chattered in Zhang Zifeng's ear.

Just when Butler thought that he had restrained Zhang Zifeng and could force the other party to the bottom line.

Zhang Zifeng suddenly made a sharp stop, then half-turned, and at the same time flicked his right hand behind him, passing the ball to Smith, who cut inside.

Smith received the ball, stuck Gibson's interference with his left hand, and scored with his right hand.

“yes!“ Seeing this scene, Brett off the field. Brown shook his fist.

When I saw Zhang Zifeng running back, Brett. Brown shouted to Zhang Zifeng, "Jack, well done,?" ”

Zhang Zifeng nodded.

In the transition between offense and defense, Hinrich passed the ball to Gasol, who hit a few times with his back against Noll, attracting the attention of the 76ers and suddenly passing the ball out.

Butler received a feint to the right, which deceived Zhang Zifeng's center of gravity, but accelerated to the left.

When Zhang Zifeng reacted, he was already out of position. was forced by Butler to break through and dunk inside by relying on his strong body.

"See, I'm unstoppable!"

The 76ers got off to a good start in the first half, especially between the first and second quarters, and under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, they played a wave of 29-15 offensive "gaochao".

With 5:40 left in the second quarter, they led by 14 points at 50-36.

But relying on Butler's strong body and good technology, he ate Zhang Zifeng again and again.

Butler became a consistent scoring point for the Bulls, scoring 25 points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal in the first half to help the Bulls hold the score.

At halftime, 51-55, the Bulls trailed by just four points.

Compared with Butler's outstanding performance, Zhang Zifeng is much dimmer, with only 10 points, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds.

At half-time, both teams returned to the dressing room.

76ers locker room, Brett. Brown clapped his hands to draw the player's attention and said, "All right, guys! We played well in the first half, but we also gave the opposition too many chances. We need to press more in the second half, we need to control the basket. Noll, Smith, protect our backcourt rebounds and don't give the opponent a second chance to attack. Grant: You did a good job of limiting Mirotic in the first half, and you continued to do it in the second half. Jack ......"

Although Zhang Zifeng didn't score much, everyone knew that Zhang Zifeng was the hardest one in the first half, not only to keep an eye on Butler, but also to thread the needle to connect the team's offense.

Brett. Brown looked at Zhang Zifeng, who was sweating profusely, and asked, "Jack, are you okay?" Do I need to arrange for Grant to switch to Butler in the second half? ”

Zhang Zifeng shook his head and said, "No, coach." Mirotic also played well this time, and Grant also had a heavy burden on his shoulders. Don't worry, I can handle that brute bull! ”

Grant, Smith and others patted Zhang Zifeng on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Zhang Zifeng said that he didn't need it, that Brett. Brown was also reluctant to refute Zhang Zifeng.

Brown said, "In that case, Butler will be handed over to you." Jack, in the second half I hope to make that guy less active! ”

Zhang Zifeng nodded and said, "Understand, even if it is a foul, I will restrict that guy!" ”

Brett. Brown summed up and shouted, "Guys, this is our home field, this is our chassis. We want to leave the victory to the fans who came to support us. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, Coach!"

The timeout ended and the second half began.

Butler once again held the ball to face Zhang Zifeng. "Hey, Chinese guy, today in front of Lao Tzu, you are simply weak. I believe that after today, those ignorant fans who praise you will see your true nature. I wonder if those angry and deceived fans will throw eggs at you! ”

When Zhang Zifeng heard this, he tried his best to calm himself down. Although what this bastard said was hard to hear, he was telling the truth. In the first half, Lao Tzu was blown up by this bastard.

I can't go on like this, I have to find a way.

It's just that this bastard's physical fitness is really too good, and I am not as good as him in terms of strength.

What should I do?

Zhang Zifeng's brain was running at high speed, thinking of a solution.

Butler wouldn't be so kind to stop, let Zhang Zifeng think slowly.

He still leaned against Zhang Zifeng with his back and hit Zhang Zifeng again and again.

Facing the impact of Butler, Zhang Zifeng gritted his teeth and resisted, but it was still difficult to resist the other party.

Just as Butler once again slammed into the back with all his strength, at that moment, a thought suddenly popped into Zhang Zifeng's mind.

When Butler was about to collide, Zhang Zifeng suddenly left and took a step back, widening the distance.

When Butler suddenly exerted force, he suddenly felt that there was no physical confrontation behind him. Butler exerted too much force, and at this time he couldn't control his body at all, and fell straight backwards.

The basketball in his hand couldn't be controlled, and it fell directly.

Where would Zhang Zifeng care about Butler falling, he directly flashed and picked up the basketball and rushed forward.

When the embarrassed Butler got up from the ground, all he saw was Zhang Zifeng's fast-break dunk.

Zhang Zifeng ran back to the backcourt amid the cheers of the audience, looked at Butler and sneered, "Hey, man." Your falling posture is funny, and today's best five balls will be yours. Don't forget to enjoy it then! ”

"Damn bastard!" Butler shouted at the other with all his face over.

The Bulls attacked again, and Butler shouted as soon as he ran to the frontcourt. "Hinrich, give me the ball!"

Butler is going to fight back against this damned Chinese, and he is going to make him pay a terrible price!

When Xin Li was just about to pass the ball, Zhang Zifeng suddenly circled forward.

Zhang Zifeng suddenly circled forward, and Hinrich almost made a mistake, he hurriedly regained control of the ball and looked for an opportunity to pass.

It's just that Zhang Zifeng stuck Butler behind him, and Hinrich couldn't find a suitable opportunity at all.

Several times there was no chance to re-card Zhang Zifeng behind him, Butler hurriedly reached out and signaled, and passed the ball high behind him.

How could McConnell let Hinrich pass so comfortably at this time, he hurriedly stepped forward to defend the opponent.

Hinrich worked hard for a while before the ball was hoisted high to Butler.

But Zhang Zifeng was already behind Butler at this time.

With Zhang Zifeng on his back, Butler caught the pass again, and said viciously word by word. "You'll regret me off!"

"Shut your mouth and be careful that you make a fool of yourself again!" Zhang Zifeng said sarcastically.

Zhang Zifeng's disdainful tone made the anger in Butler's heart burn even more.

However, this time Butler was much more cautious, crashing into Zhang Zifeng step by step, not greedy.

Crashing into Zhang Zifeng again, Butler felt that the confrontation behind him was gone.

Butler sneered, this time he still wants to yin Lao Tzu, it's just too naïve.

Butler hurriedly stabilized his body, grabbed the ball with both hands, and tried to take advantage of the opportunity to turn and shoot.

At the moment when Butler grabbed the ball with both hands, Zhang Zifeng did not retreat just now, but directly rushed forward, bypassing Butler and slapping the ball away.

Syllable!

"Nice defense!" Brett on the sidelines. Brown shouted loudly when he saw Zhang Zifeng's defense.

Just as Butler was reacting, Zhang Zifeng had already grabbed the ball and ran wildly to the frontcourt.

At this time, Grant and Smith also rushed to the front.

Both Sinrich and Mirotic chased after Zhang Zifeng to stop Zhang Zifeng's fast attack.

"So fast!"

Seeing this scene, many viewers sketched a picture in their hearts.

A wolf king is leading a pack of wolves on the run.

One step in the penalty area, Zhang Zifeng stopped the floor with his left foot, and then his legs exerted force at the same time, and the whole person rose from the ground.

Looking at the basket, Zhang Zifeng held the ball with both hands and drew a circle, and then smashed the ball into the basket with his big hand.

Big windmill dunk!

smashed the ball into the basket fiercely, and after a hard pull, Zhang Zifeng let go and landed.

The basket shook with it.

Wells Fargo Center Arena suddenly let out a tsunami-like shout.

The DJ of the 76ers was also shouting hoarsely, and the name of "Zhang Zifeng" resounded in every corner of the Wells Fargo Center Arena.

When Zhang Zifeng ran back, he looked at Butler and sneered, "Man, you were clumsy like a bear just now!" ”

Butler was furious.

Back in the frontcourt, Butler stood on the outside facing Zhang Zifeng, the ball landed, his back dribbled, and his ass arched backwards sharply.

Zhang Zifeng sank his waist, his front and back feet were staggered, and his right hand was stuck in Butler's waist.

With a back-to-back turnover, Butler became more cautious.

Zhang Zifeng also knew that the previous two times had to be caught off guard by beating Butler, so that there would be such an effect.

Now Butler won't make mistakes so easily.

Zhang Zifeng once again started the most direct power dialogue with Butler, and every time he hit Zhang Zifeng, he could feel the pain in his chest.

But even so, Zhang Zifeng will not give up confrontation easily.

Pushing into the restricted area with difficulty, Butler turned around with Zhang Zifeng with a change of hands, and was about to shoot, but found that a big palm appeared between his vision and the basketball.

When Zhang Zifeng knew that it was difficult to bear, the moment Butler turned around, he was ready and sent him his senior brother Battier's mastery - blindfolded defensive move.

Zhang Zifeng knew that it was unrealistic to try to block the opponent, so he tried his best to interfere with Butler's shooting.

Butler turned and jumped to aim for the basket when he found his vision blocked. By this time he was already jumping in the air and could only throw the ball by feeling.

Touch!

The ball hit the basket and bounced out.

Smith grabbed the ball and launched a fast attack, flashed Mirotic and slotted into the box.

Seeing Gibson pounce, a blow to the ground was passed to Zhang Zifeng's hands.

Such a good opportunity, how could Zhang Zifeng miss it.

A heavy dunk vented his emotions, and at the same time, a wave of 6-0 offense stretched the difference to 10 points and brought the momentum of the 76ers up.

"Damn bastard!" Butler couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Why not be arrogant, man! Don't you love trash-talking? Zhang Zifeng said with a sneer.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Zifeng's defense in the second half made Butler very uncomfortable, and Butler was also thinking about how to face it.

Seeing that the form was not good, Bulls coach Fred Hojberg quickly called a timeout.

Butler was restrained and had to lay out a new tactic.

Fred Hojberg glanced to his player's side.

Gasol?

Mirotic?

Hinrich?

It seemed that Gasol was more reliable, and Fred Hojberg shouted, "Paul, we need you to step up and help Butler do the heavy lifting!" ”

Paul. Gasol nodded and said, "Leave it to me!" ”

"Guys, they're going to definitely change the way they attack when they wait. I want you to do your own defense, ? "Brett. Brown looked at his player.

"Yes." All the players nodded.

The players from both sides took the stage again at the referee's whistle, and the 76ers fans in the stadium saw that the team's victory was in sight, and cheered for the 76ers with their high shouts.

Coming back from the timeout, the Bulls' offense was initiated by Gasol.

Gasol also had an interior offensive skill in addition to mid-range shooting as a young man, but as he got older, he moved more and more slowly.

The Bulls hope to open up from Gasol's side and lead the team's offense.

But Gasol is no longer young, and he has a hard time facing the young and strong Noor.

Gasol's side couldn't open it, and the hope finally passed to Butler's side.

Butler also wants to help the team, as he did in the first half.

But Zhang Zifeng in the second half is no longer Zhang Zifeng in the first half.

Zhang Zifeng's previous matches were all desperate to fight against the opponent, trying his best to block the opponent.

But the confrontation with Butler was crushed, and Zhang Zifeng understood that a good defensive player will inevitably face a variety of opponents with different styles.

No player is better than his opponent in all abilities, like Battier, Bowen, Miller, or even Ray. Allen is not known for his physical toughness, but they still have a reputation as defensive experts.

They face opponents who are tougher than themselves, and those muscle "roubangs" can still make their shooting percentage plummet.

It's about how they know how to use their strengths to make up for their shortcomings.

Zhang Zifeng now clearly knows that a qualified defensive expert will not think about being able to completely block an opponent, and their favorite thing to do is to use all kinds of means, including small actions to make the opponent's shooting rate drop.

In the following game, Zhang Zifeng kept using his foot movement to harass Butler's catch.

After all the hard work to receive the ball, Zhang Zifeng stretched out his hand from time to time to let Butler dribble very hard.

In the confrontation, Zhang Zifeng's sometimes tough and sometimes weak defense made Butler very uncomfortable.

Pushed into the box in the middle of the struggle, when shooting. Sometimes the vision of the eyes is blocked, or the waist is suddenly secretly pushed by someone, and the force is not strong.

Butler couldn't get open, and the Bulls' offense was in trouble.

The 76ers took advantage of the opportunity to pull away and the third quarter ended with the Bulls trailing by 17 points, 77-94.

The rest of the Bulls rebounded in the fourth quarter, with Mirotic and Hinrich each hitting three-pointers, McDermott hitting two offensive shots to put the Bulls on a 16-2 run of "gaochao" that cut the gap to just 12 points.

Zhang Zifeng scored five points to stabilize the team, and then Covington, who came off the bench, was hot, hitting three three-pointers in a row, and the 76ers regained a 19-point lead.

Seeing that the general trend was gone, the Bulls surrendered early.

At the end of the game, the Bulls lost 91-103 to the 76ers.

The whistle sounded, and fans at Wells Fargo Center let out a tsunami of boo.

And this boo was given to Butler, who walked into the players' tunnel with his head down.
